All the words of wisdom about photography boil down to one thing. Practice, practice, practice.I do try to snap away every day but it can become all consuming if you’re not careful. For one thing it’s not just the snapping. Working out the buttons and dials. But the after production. The loading the pictures, the [...]
Sun’s up and out today – thank goodness. I can’t bear the cold and when you’re feeling a bit under the weather there is nothing like a bit of sun to cheer you up and save your lettuces from being a flop crop.
When I got up and about this morning I just knew it was going to be one of those days. After all, I was faced with this.
One of the sure signs that it’s still summer is the song of the cicadas. They are still churping away when the sun shines. Normally you can hear but not see the cicadas but recently more have been hopping off their trees and coming to ground giving me the opportunity to snap them to share [...]
Bunking off with the dogs is a daily treat. Taking the camera makes it all the more fun. Down by the Hutt River I spotted some new things to snap and keep practising my photography. Although I’ve seen loads of white cow parsley I’ve never seen yellow. There was masses of it on the river [...]

Our bassets could do a different walk every day for around 2 weeks. I wonder how many dogs have that much choice to their daily constitutional. Some dogs get a quick run around the back yard, others maybe a romp in the park. Fortnum and Mason get to choose from a fine range of walks [...]
No need to clean your specs or adjust your monitor. We’re in the mist and have been most of the day. It’s been the sort of day that people with curly or temperamental hair should stay indoors. Try as the bassets may to protect their hairdo it’s been a necessity to venture into the fine [...]
I keeping looking at the pictures but still can’t quite believe it. The extent of the damage, the flames, the death toll, the pure devastation. I guess that most Australians who are living this nightmare of bush fires can’t quite believe it either. Put this together with the freaky snow weather in the UK and [...]
